Athiesm is too simple
“The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn” – Martin Luther
God’s non-existence cannot be proven outright. To state that God does not exist, would require one to possess infinite knowledge, which is impossible. If someone does in fact possess infinite knowledge, let them come forth and show it. It stands to reason therefore, that what we call atheism is, strictly speaking, a retreat to agnosticism, whose basic tenet of faith is this: no one can really know whether or not God exists. A more reasonable position for humans with finite minds. Since atheism cannot support its own presuppositions, it hides this deficiency by shifting the burden of proof, choosing instead to attack religious doctrines. Perhaps though, this is so the scripture could be fulfilled, “…but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). The problem with atheism and agnosticism is not lack of evidence. The problem is the willful suppression of that evidence. For the apostle writes in Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”. C.S. Lewis succinctly summarized atheism when he said, “Consequently atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should have never have found out that it has no meaning; just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning.” I would encourage atheistic thinkers to visit http://www.apologetics.com, download and read carefully, a free copy of the book titled, Faith with reason: Why Christianity is true, by Joseph R.
